St George's Walk

St George's Walk is a partially covered shopping parade in the centre of Croydon, London that houses many independent stores.

It was completed in 1964 by Ronald Ward and Partners, the designers of St George's House, at one end of the walk, and Millbank Tower in Westminster.

Nestlé's former UK headquarters, St George's House, forms part of the complex at the Park Lane end.

In 2005, a compulsory purchase order was issued by Croydon Council[1] and it was planned to demolish St George's Walk by 2011 and replace it with the new Park Place shopping centre which would span from North End to Queen's Gardens.

As a result of the uncertainty surrounding a possible redevelopment, some of the established businesses, both in the precinct and where the development formed part of neighbouring roads, either closed or re-located, and by 2010, the area had become run-down.
